From innovative ideas to the national stage!

The Young Entrepreneur National Pitch Challenge challenges students to identify real-world problems, create business solutions, and pitch their ideas to a national audience. Our Ready2Earn students rose to the challenge in a big way.

National Semi-Finalists: Pack IQ, Grip Lock, Safe Seat Alert, and Guardian Belt
National Finalist: Eco Cash

Having five teams recognized nationally is an incredible accomplishment and a testament to the creativity, determination, and talent of our young entrepreneurs. We couldn't be prouder!

Join us in congratulating these outstanding students!
